UPCOMING TV SHOWS FIND NEW CAST MEMBERS
LEVI MEADEN IN SYFY'S 'OLYMPUS' MYTHOLOGICAL SERIES
In today's television news from the epic front two upcoming series have new cast members: young Levi Meaden (from THE 100, THE KILLING) is the first one to be cast in SyFy's mythological series OLYMPUS which will air in 13 episodes following a few brave men and women who banished the Gods to the realm of the unconscious – a place they called the Underworld or the Kingdom of Hades. The story centres on a fresh faced and raw young man who, through the dramatic experiences of betrayal, love, disappointment, empowerment and exile, transforms into a ruthless leader of men, and 
a match for the Gods themselves. Meaden will play Kimon, a young scribe who develops a relationship with the heir to the throne of Athens.

Just watched Levi Meaden in The Killing. Really good.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm always up for news about Viggo. Looks good. :D
Viggo has a number of movies coming up, but most of the foreign actors are of the radar when it comes to Hollywood, and so is he...
DeletePS did the third ep. of OUTLANDER find any momentum? I've watched the second one two days ago and it was as slow as the first one :) god forbid if their kilts should catch some wind.... :)
Haven't had a chance to see any of the other episodes yet, but I'll try to soon. I do hope it finds its pace and gallops away like the books. :)
Deleteah. I thought you have Starz. I'm torrenting the show every week :)
DeleteGood to see Viggo Mortensen in something.
ReplyDeleteand he speaks French :)
DeleteFar From Me looks really good. Plus, I think there is just something very beautiful about the French language :)
ReplyDeleteonly if it is spoken by hunks....
Delete"Far From Men" reminds me of nothing so much as "3:10 to Yuma."
ReplyDeleteoh, I tried watching that one when it came out and couldn't last for longer than half an hour :)
DeleteI'm in for watching Far From Men.
ReplyDeletenot that you'd ever wanna be far from them :)
DeleteI do love Viggo Mortensen ... :)
ReplyDeleteand he loves Middle Earth, methinks
DeleteI loved the first two seasons of The Killing. I couldn't believe how much I DIDN'T like the third season. I got all caught up in the story of the missing girl, I guess!
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched the series at all, but I do like Joel Kinnaman
DeleteLeonor needs to eat a burger... or two ;)
ReplyDeletebut when she does it all goes straight into her boobs :)
DeleteParlez-vous français....No not me, but nice coming from Viggo. It looks like a great film.
ReplyDeleteme no parlez francais either :)
DeleteI love anything about ancient Rome and Viggo's a great actor. I haven't seen one of his movies in a while.
ReplyDeleteI hope they will make that show really historical and not modern
DeleteLots of historical drama in the pipeline.
ReplyDeleteThat is HOLLYWOOD SPY's prime focus in our job
DeleteI wonder if Watling will be wearing that outfit. The lady in red...
ReplyDeleteshe likes to pose naked, you know, google her :)
DeleteI didn't know that. Yet.
DeleteI'm sure you do by now....
DeleteYeah I do, but... it was a bit disappointing. Not my type after all. What are the odds...
Deleteyep, she isn't really a pretty girl... has a very mediocre face
